Discussion Post: Philosophy

In Nicomachean Ethics, Book II(page 18 - 30), Aristotle describes how virtue is acquired, gives a general definition of virtue, and gives examples of specific virtues. Explain the role of habituation in Aristotle's view of how a person acquires virtues, and give a specific example of how a particular virtue, bravery, could be acquired this way. If Aristotle is correct about the role of habituation in the acquisition of virtue, what is the implication for the content of a person's character? If Aristotle is correct, is a person's character largely a product of his or her own choices, or not?
